Default SU stamp question

I need help deciding on a stamp set I want to purchase. I like them both but can only manage one at this time. My choices are "Roses in Winter" or "Wild Rose". I like the sentiments with Roses in Winter and both sets seem to be very versitile, I just need help deciding which one to choose. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

I vote for Roses In Winter simply because it is in danger to be retired. It is an older set! Not saying it WILL be retired but just a guess on my part. Wild Rose (if I remember correctly) was new last year so it probably won't be retired. But if both are retired, I'll need to buy both cuz I don't have either but want them too! LOL!

i agree with blue.... roses in winter has been around for quite some time... years infact, but wild rose is new in this catalog.. should be around for a while.. .I have them both and I love both, but if you can only afford one right now, then get the one in danger and maybe later you can afford the other one.. hope this helps

Thanks to you all for your help. I am going to order Roses in Winter. My demo said the same thing about a possible retirement because of it's age. I will save up for Wild Roses for a later date. Thanks again!

I think I am the only one I know who doesn't really care for Roses in Winter--that said, that's the one I would get too, if I were you and liked both, because it is THE rose set everyone (but me) loves. I love the wild rose set, saving my pennies for it and cant wait to get it. But I think that if you like both, go for the Winter roses, you can't go wrong!

I love Roses in Winter only because it seems you can do more with color variations with it, Wild Roses seems to have limitations.

Roses in Winter is much easier to use and very pretty, IMHO! Good luck, hope you have fun with whichever one you decide to get!

I just gave Wild Rose away to my best friend, couldn't make a thing with it. Roses in Winter, I love, and I never get tired of. It's way more versatile and it's way easier to make something unique. HTH!

I love Wild Rose, myself. But go to the Gallery and see what inspires you. That always helps me. (not that I need any help spending money, you understand.....)
